"In Power BI, virtual network data gateways require a Power BI Premium capacity license (A4 or higher or any F or P)."
Use virtual network data gateway and data sources in Power BI | Microsoft Learn
PPU is not enough.

is there any workaround if we don't wanna move to premium capacity due to cost and have PPU license only

There is not. VNET gateways consume CUs, they require a Fabric enabled SKU.

Hi surbhi
In Power BI Desktop, connect to Azure Blob Storage using the same credentials.
When you publish the report to the workspace, go to:Settings > Dataset > Gateway Connection
You’ll see a list of configured gateways
Select the VNet Data Gateway that can reach your Blob Storage via private endpoint.
You may need to configure Data Source Mapping:The data source path in Power BI Desktop (e.g., https://myblob.blob.core.windows.net/)
must exactly match the source defined under the gateway.
If needed, go to Manage Gateways > Add Data Source and map the blob source in the VNet Gateway.Hope this helps !!
